"Tohru?" Kyo called searching the entire Sohma house. "Tohru!"

No such luck, she was nowhere to be found. 'Where is she?' He thought to himself. 'I was way too harsh to her, now look what I've done!' His hands balled into fists. 'I have to find her, apologize to her for being such an idiot. And…' His eyes shut tight, 'And…!'

"Shigure!" Kyo hollered throwing open his door. Shigure turned from his desk, eying the cat. "You know you could've knock-"

"I don't have time for your stupid ramblings!" Kyo interrupted, "do you know where Tohru is!"

Shigure raised his eyebrows, "What did you do to our little flower now?" Kyo rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath. He was in no mood to put up with this and patience was not really an option for him here. Really when was it ever an option?

"A simple 'I-don't-know' would suffice you damn dog!" He yelled slamming the door hard. Maybe a little too hard. Kyo was in such a hurry he didn't notice that the door had bounced and fell off its hinges.

"I just fixed that!" Shigure whined to himself for Kyo was already way beyond hearing distance.

Kyo began searching the town. 'Where could she have gone?'

Tohru continued walking along the street towards the market. 'Well, I've really done it this time…' she thought. 'Kyo must be really mad at me.' A flashback of the recent event in Kyo's room made its way into her mind. Her eyes became teary. 'And the worse part is that I don't even know what I did! How can I be so thick!'

Making her way through the isles, Tohru came to a decision. "I'll find some way to make it up to him," she told herself, "even if he doesn't forgive me, I owe him this much." She quickly began picking out some fish. "I'll make all his favorite foods for dinner."

Suddenly she heard a curse and a quite familiar voice.

"Dammit, this sucks." Tohru's eyes widened. 'Kyo!' She caught a glimpse of his hair as he walked by in the neighboring isle. He seemed to be looking for something.

'Oh, I hope he doesn't see me…' She thought to herself trying to walk away unnoticed. Quickly and quietly she made her way to the register, paid for everything, and left just as Kyo rounded the corner to where she once was.

"I'm home," Yuki said as he entered the living room. He was puzzled to find only Shigure present in the house. "Where is everyone?" Shigure looked up from the paper he was reading.

"Oh, welcome home Yuki. Actually I'm not sure where our dear Tohru went. I didn't even know she left until Kyo rudely burst into my room demanding if I knew where she was. He seemed quite anxious to know too."

"That stupid cat probably did something he shouldn't have again," Yuki said, rolling his eyes, "just proves he's got a hairball for a brain."

"What was that you damn rat!" Kyo yelled, arriving in time to hear the last remark. Yuki simply glared in response. "Where's Tohru and what did you do to her this time?"

"It's none of your damn business!" Kyo muttered, "and how the hell should I know-"

"I'm home!" Tohru called out. All three boys turned around.

"Ah, there you are my little flower!" exclaimed a really happy Shigure.

"Welcome home Miss Honda," Yuki said giving her a warm smile that could've made Kyo hurl, before heading to his secret base.

Kyo was a little occupied to notice though. Unsure of what to say, he looked down and simply said, "Hey."

Tohru was a little nervous around Kyo herself, "Oh, uhm…thank you!" she replied, directing it more at Kyo than the others and putting on another smile. Kyo, however, once he managed to look up at her saw right through the mask. He noticed her eyes were somewhat dull and a little red, and didn't have the spark that they usually had. 'Has she been crying…?'

"What do you have there?" Shigure asked eyeing the plastic bags Tohru was carrying. She jumped, forgetting about those. "Oh! Uhm, these are some things I bought for our dinner tonight! I should probably go get started." She started for the kitchen.

"Wait."

She suddenly stopped, turning slowly around to face the one who had just called her. "Y-Yes Kyo?"

He flinched when he heard her stutter. "I…nevermind." 'Damnit, I hate myself!'

"Okay," she said smiling, this time it was more obvious that it wasn't a genuine smile. She resumed her very short journey to the kitchen, leaving Kyo alone in the room.

'Why can't I ever talk when it matters…?'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

'Damnit…' Kyo thought as he practiced his forms out in the yard. 'Damn! Why do I always screw things up with her!' He let one of his hands fall to his side, his other coming up to roughly wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"I don't deserve her," he muttered to himself, "all I ever do is cause her pain." Looking sadly back at the house, he sighed. "I should just leave. It'd be better than staying in this awful place. I can't stand it here!"

"You really are an idiot." Kyo turned to see Yuki standing in the doorway. "What do you want damn rat?" Yuki slowly walked up to face Kyo, and then punched him in the jaw.

"What the hell was that for!" Kyo bellowed, rubbing the sore spot.

"For making Tohru cry." Was all Yuki said before heading back into the house. Kyo stood there, eyes widened and guilt-stricken. 'I…I really did make her cry…' His orange bangs fell over his eyes. 'I really should leave, I don't belong here.'

Seeing Tohru cooking through the small closed window, he slowly walked towards the house. 'But... I should at least try apologizing to her first.'

"Who is it?" Tohru asked, hearing the kitchen door slide open.

"It's me." Kyo said quietly. Tohru stiffened a little.

"Oh, uhm, is there anything you need Kyo?" she asked trying to sound as calm and collected as possible. Kyo looked to the side, unable to meet her eyes, "No, don't worry about me. I just came to-what's all this?" Kyo just noticed that all the food she was cooking were things he liked.

Tohru hesitantly looked at the ground. "Well…I…" She twiddled with her forefingers. "I was making this for you."

He stared at her, shocked. "What…? Why…why would you do this for me?" he stuttered. 'After all the horrible things I did to you!'

Tohru blushed lightly, "I…felt bad about what happened last night. I didn't mean to make you upset, and I feel worse that I don't even know what I did."

Tears started to fall from her eyes as she continued, "I know it's cold of me, but…no matter what I did I could figure out what I had done. I'm just…I wish I wasn't so thick like that, so…" she looked back at the food she had been preparing. "I went to the store and got all your favorite food in hopes that I would somewhat make it up to you."

She stood there, expecting Kyo to make some harsh remark about how foolish she was to think that a simple dinner would make up for what she had done, whatever it was.

Nothing happened. No yelling, no scolding…nothing.

Instead she looked up to see Kyo walking slowly towards her, his eyes glistening. 'Oh no!' she thought, panic and guilt filling her already tear filled eyes. 'Did I say something wrong again? Why do I always do this!'

He came close, lifting a trembling hand to her cheek. 'Is he…is he going to strike me…?' Tohru shut her eyes tight, waiting for the impact.

It never came.

She only felt his hand touch her cheek softly. 'What…what is he doing?' Opening one eye, she saw Kyo staring down at her with an unknown look. It wasn't of anger. It wasn't pained. Despite the tears it didn't seem of sadness, but it wasn't of happiness either. What was it?

"Stupid…"

Tohru snapped from her reverie when she heard Kyo speak. He gently pushed back some strands of her hair, his face just inches from hers, "You're such an idiot…"

"Kyo-"

That was all she could say before he closed the gap between them.

Tbc…
